OXO Good Grips 2-Piece Silicone Whisk Set

My wife really likes these. The smaller one, I’m told, is perfect for eggs (whatever that means). In fact, she says some thought must have gone into deciding the sizes, because they are both really well-proportioned for what she does (some sort of cooking). Comfortable to grip and use. Great for using with non-scratch bowls, pots, pans, etc. Unlike their metal counterparts, they’re also really quiet, which is actually my favorite part. We have other OXO utensils and was expecting these to be good, and they are. A little more expensive than some other options, but with OXO, I never have to guess about what I’m getting… worth a couple of extra dollars for the no surprises level of quality.

Handle is comfortable and whisks won't scratch my pans. They are a bit more flexible than my metal ones, but that's ok. I love their color too.

I melted a part of my old silicone whisk and so it used for mixing calf replacement milk. Needed a new one and these were given an excellent rating on America's Test Kitchen. OXO is a brand you can trust.These are a perfect size and can be used with all my pans, bowls, etc without scratching them.The fact that I can actually whisk my gravy from beginning to end with one item is great!

Shorter than expected

These are the best whisks! Highly functional, will not scratch my balls, and they’re very sturdy but flexible at the same time.

This balloon whisk deserves 5-stars.The problem with many silicon whisks is that the silicon material used to make the whisking wires is too soft, too flexible, and gives too much such that the whisking effectiveness is substantially reduced. This problem is especially prominent when whisking a thicker batter. It'd be like swimming through molasses.This Oxo silicone whisk does not have the same problem -- or I should say, the least amount of give (flex) compared to other brands. And it only gives slightly when compared to the Oxo Balloon WIRE whisk made out of stainless steel.Why do you want to get a silicon whisk, you ask? For two primary reasons: 1) safer on your teflon or ceramic coated pots, pans, and dishes. And 2) food sticks to silicon wire slightly less than stainless.For most people #2 reason above is not apparent or perhaps not that important, and people are generally correct. However, if you'd observe side by side (take two balloon whisks one made of stainless and one silicone) and whisk up crepe batter, you will find the batter drip off the silicone whisk ever so faster, quicker, cleaner than the comparison stainless whisk. Won't make or break the batter or make or break the recipe, but hey, it's an observable fact and it may be important to some and totally irrelevant to others.As for reason #1 above, yes, you have to own a good silicone whisk if you own teflon or ceramic coated cookware. I think the reason is pretty self explanatory. You just don't take metal to teflon.Well, like I said, the silicone material used here is pretty sturdy. It is very comparable (in terms of results and whisking power) to the stainless variant. I'd have to whisk a bit stronger to compensate for the softer material but, again, not significantly so that I'd complaint. Whereas the other products on the market I'd say "nahh, tooo soft.. too difficult to whisk up!"This whisk is dishwasher safe. The huzzle is stainless, and the grip is comfortable, nonslip. and smooth.5 Stars given because the product delivered: 1) Function 2) Durability 3) Ease of use and clean 4) Balance of function & elegance and 5) Total, Overall balance of everything mentioned above against the price you pay.For the price you pay, this is a good whisk.

I could not be more pleased with this whisk. I found this after throwing out yet another silicone whisk that was crumbling and falling apart. I decided it was time to invest in a better quality version, rather than just continuing to pick up cheap ones every other month. This is a vastly better whisk and, as best I can tell, this one is going to last for a while.Before ordering however I would recommend that you consider or reconsider the size of whisk you want. I opted for the 11 inch version because I have a gas stove top and like to keep my hands as far away from the hot flame as possible. I should have gone with the smaller choice, as everything about this whisk is larger, not just the handle. I regularly cook for 2-4 people and this whisk is very big, almost too big, for the amount of food I prepare. Unless you are cooking for a large family I believe you'll be happiest with the smaller choice.

I highly recommend the OXO silicone whisks as they work perfectly with my glass Pyrex, All-Clad mixing bowls, and Le Creuset cast iron enameled pots. These whisks are a terrific value and excellent quality. I can't recommend them enough.
